Publisher's description:

The centuries between 800 and 300 BC saw an explosion of new religious concepts. But why did Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jeremiah, Lao Tzu and all others emerge in this five-hundred-year span? In this book, the author examines this period and the connections between this disparate group of philosophers, mystics, and theologians.
